They called me up to see if I had heard
about the accident
the accident of a girl sick with the world

This isn't news, it's all old stuff
underneath and above us
one arrives and one takes off
but Let's Not Fall Apart!
oh, silence, my heart

all the things I did with you and all the
things we'll never do
I saw the sun come up/fall down
the days were fast, but time
was much too slow

some pretty concrete-sky
was blackening my eyes
I stood here and I tried to scream, but what came out
well, not much of the things I meant to do
with my life

efficiency above all
get yourself free by following a plot
you wake & eat & sleep & wake until it's much too late

now finally I see
how easy it would be
to get the world off of me
and get the spies out from the windows
and lift myself above the rooftops
to leave and to never return
I waited my whole life for this answer

all the things I did with you and all the
things we'll never do
I saw the sun come up/fall down
the days were fast, but time
was much too slow
